Take out Planes, Trains, etc., A Christmas Story and How to Succeed etc. and I'm with you! I have and will watch those others a gazillion bazillion more times. lol I could add about a million more titles to my list.
The Day the Earth Stood Still is one of my all time favorite, if not my fave sci-fi!

> Anyway, I can see you loving *The Major And The Minor* , for it would be a fun daydream piece for a 15 year old girl. A choice between Ray Milland or all those boys, I would agree with you!
I got it! Yay! :-) Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks? lol

I never heard that. Did you ever hear, telephone, telegraph, tell a woman? lol

How come I don't see quotes on the top bar? Am I missing them? Where exactly are they? lol

I know this question was probably posed before but there are like a bazillion gazillion posts I'd have to look through to find it, and I'm not young and time is precious, so...lol
Though there are many, the one movie I have watched over and over and over again, and could watch over and over and over again, is Auntie Mame with Rosalind Russell. Love her, love the movie. I wanted to grow up and be her. I have the nephew, and a few spare nieces, but not the money to open doors for them, doors they never dreamed existed. :-)

Yeah, Lost Weekend is a given. But have you, being one of such tender years, ever seen Rhubarb? lol
I still say you're pulling my leg about being 15. But the longer I hang out at this site the better the feel I'll get for people here, 'cause you sure write good for a youngin', and to love The Lost Weekend and not Weekend at Bernie's is just not right for a kid. lol Or maybe I just judge 15 year olds by the ones in my family and those I see on TV. lol

That was funny, what you said about Mongo's Candid thread. lol But I don't know about that. With my red hair I kinda look like rocker Lucille Ball. Ha!

Hey, BronxGirl! You're welcome. I've enjoyed inspiring and sharing memories on this thread. :-)
I just wonder if there really was a time machine, and each of us got to go back to our own special moments in our individual pasts, if those moments in time we hold so close to our hearts were as warm and fuzzy as our memories of them seem to us now. lol

From what I read or heard somewhere, Raymond Massy had no great love for James Dean and that's why they say the scene where Dean is pleading with Massey for love is so very compelling. It seems Massey was less than pleased with Dean's oft times none professional behavior, but worse yet, Massey, being a man of high moral standards, was repulsed by Dean?s proclivity toward homosexuality. Dean, it was said, either to antagonize Massey more or just feeling really bad about Massey not accepting him as a feeling, thinking human being, used their relationship to its full potential to get the best out of the scene for both of them. Some say it was a calculated risk, others say it was just the chemistry between the men that took over and created that memorial scene between a father and son. Anyway it came about, wow!

Georgie Girl, you're an a**. Consider this thread dead! Killed my me. :-)
-
Doh! Archived! Whoops! Thanks for the heads up! Blushing here. :-)
-
Hahahahaha!
-
Whew! Thanks for being so honest. I'm not the oldest on this thread anymore. lol :-)
I know I said this before, but I really thought folks here would be older than what the actual average is of those who repsonded.
-
Thank you! That was easy enough, young whippersnapper! lol
-
I think you're pulling my leg. I challenge any 15 year old who loves Ray Milland, not that he isn't worth it, and I'm not saying your aren't 15, but maybe just a little odd. Just kidding. lol
If you are really 15, I think it's wonderful you're here and love the old movies. And my favorite Ray Milland movie is The Uninvited. :-) And I think he was in Rhubarb which I also like. lol

My first movie extravaganza was seeing Disney's Cinderella. I was 1958, I was five and it was at either the RKO on 23rd Street or Radio City. My oldest sister took me. After the movie, in the lobby they were selling Cindy merchandise. Big sis bought me a Cinderella watch and coloring book. I lost my watch when I was a teenager, but I see them on Ebay and plan on replacing it someday. :-)

I guess I can?t blame those who are being cryptic with their ages and want me to do calculations or research to find out rather than them saying it aloud. It?s a scarey thing as your rack up the years. I know I choked having to write 56! lol
Gee, this thread seems to have brought out some feistiness and humor in some of you, which is cool! lol If we can?t laugh at ourselves and have fun, well... What the he*l are we doing here? I didn?t come here to talk doom and gloom but to talk movies, get to know folks, and have fun in the process.
Okay, we all know we?re as young as we feel, so I?ll go with what a friend told me, I?m celebrating the 40th year of my 16th birthday. That?s my story and I?m sticking to it!
Okay, so let?s name some movies that have to do with age or aging. I?ll go first but I need your help in remembering the title, and though I can see their faces, I can?t think of the stars. Anyway, it was about this loving old couple whose married children decide to send father off to a home and take the mother in. I cried at the end because I thought the couple, being as in love as they still were at their advanced age, would put up a fight with the kids to stay in their own home. It was due to financial difficulty they had to be separated. I think the mother was played by the woman who played Jimmy Stewart?s mom in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. But in lieu of that one, On Borrowed Time with Lionel Barrymore. :-)

I thought that movie introduced him as the character Henry Aldrich but I see it did not. I'd hate to give folks looking for answers the wrong one. Thanks for keeping me in check. :-)
-
Thanks. Hm, my worst fear is now imagined, I'm the oldest one on this thread! lol
-
I hoped the title would be catchy enough to draw attention, but I never figured that! Hahahhahahaha! lol

Bargar-I agree, there are films made today that are going to be classics, but they are few and far and in between. However, I wouldn't pay the price of a movie ticket today to go see them all to find the one gem that stands out. I usually wait for them to come to cable, and nine out of ten times I'm always glad I didn't spend the coinage for a ticket. lol Don't even get me started on remakes of the old classics. Ugh! I have yet to see one that I felt came close to that same feeling the original inspired in me
I also agree IFs are making a lot of headway. One that stands out in my mind, and if memory serves that it was an IF, was a movie called The Mighty. I found it very moving, and that's what I base a good film on. If it makes me laugh, cry, or rethink my outlook on certain issues, whether they be moral or social, then it has merit and well worth the time I took to watch it.
I am not by any means a prude, but they can keep their soft porn in movies today, too. Give me Clark Gable taking Vivien Leigh in his arms on that bridge and I'm a goner. Or Mr. Cagney taking Betty Davis over his knee in the dessert and pulling cactus thorns our of her tush. Or John Garfield taking a shower and then running around in his jeans in They Made Me a Criminal. lol
What movie have you watched a gazillion bazillion times and watch again?
